Find Breweries, Wineries and Distilleries on Colorado’s Western Slope

Colorado’s Western Slope is the state’s best kept secret for wine lovers and craft beverage enthusiasts. West of the Continental Divide, the landscape transforms from Rocky Mountain peaks into mesa country, canyon lands, and fertile river valleys that produce some of Colorado’s finest wine grapes and craft spirits.

Palisade, a small town just east of Grand Junction, is the undisputed capital of Colorado wine country. Surrounded by vineyards set against the dramatic backdrop of the Book Cliffs and Grand Mesa, Palisade produces award-winning Merlot, Syrah, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc that rival wines from far more celebrated American regions. Grand Junction itself has grown into a full destination for craft beverage tourism, with breweries and tasting rooms complementing the area’s world-class mountain biking and canyon country scenery.

Further south, Montrose, Delta, and Gunnison each support their own local craft producers, while the resort town of Telluride has cultivated a small but passionate brewery and distillery scene in keeping with its reputation for independent, creative culture. Fruita, Paonia, and Hotchkiss round out the Western Slope’s craft beverage map with wineries and cideries that take full advantage of the region’s exceptional growing conditions.
